ABSTRACT

Pteridophytes that indicate environmental alteration in the temperate forest of San Jerónimo Amanalco, Texcoco, México. Pteridophytes that indicate environmental alteration in the San Jerónimo Amanalco temperate forest, Texcoco, Mexico. The patterns of distribution of 26 pteridophyte species were studied as possible indicators of environmental alteration in the temperate forest of San Jerónimo Amanalco, Texcoco, State of Mexico. The presence and abundance of the pteridoflora was studied in relation to edaphic, topographic and vegetation variables in 100 sampling locations within an area of 494 hectares. The relationship between these variables was studied using Canonical Correspondence Analysis. Five landscapes were recognized in the study zone according to the degree of deterioration: severe erosion, erosion, mountain with moderate reversible deterioration, mountain with no evident deterioration, and canyon with no evident deterioration. Cheilanthes bonariensis and Pellaea ternifolia are indicators of environmental degradation. The taxa that only grow in landscapes without apparent alteration are Adiantum andicola, Adiantum poiretii, Argyrochosma incana, Asplenium blepharophorum, Dryopteris pseudo filix-mas, Equisetum hyemale and Pteris cretica.

Se estudiaron los patrones de distribución de 26 especies de pteridofitas como posibles indicadoras de alteración ambiental en los bosques templados de San Jerónimo Amanalco, Texcoco, Estado de México. La presencia y abundancia de la pteridoflora se relacionó con variables edáficas, topográficas y de vegetación en 100 sitios de muestreo en un área de 494 ha. Con base en el Análisis Canónico de Correspondencia se pudo explorar la relación entre variables. Se determinaron cinco paisajes en el área de estudio con base al grado de deterioro: erosión severa, erosión, montaña con deterioro moderado reversible, montaña sin deterioro aparente y cañada sin deterioro aparente. Cheilanthes bonariensis y Pellaea ternifolia son indicadores de deterioro ambiental. Los táxones que únicamente crecen en paisajes sin alteración aparente son: Adiantum andicola, Adiantum poiretii, Argyrochosma incana, Asplenium blepharophorum, Dryopteris pseudo filix-mas, Equisetum hyemale y Pteris cretica.
